4 | | -The :index:`auxiliary` module contains functionalities for preparing input and processing outputs of various simulations. |
| 4 | +The :index:`auxiliary` module contains corollary functions that support the capabilities of the |
| 5 | +platform's core modules (e.g., the source, ground-motion, and site-response modules). |
| 6 | +This module, therefore, acts as a bridge between raw data and the functions available in the simulation platform |
| 7 | +by supporting I/O tools, statistical analysis, visualisation, and data management. |

|
6 | | -In particular, it provides: |
| 9 | +Currently, the Auxiliary Module includes functions underpinning the Seismic Source Module |
| 10 | +and its associated case study. |

|
8 | | -- Tools for preparing the input to MCQsim and post-processing the output. |
| 12 | +However, as the project will progress to ground motion and site modules, new functionalities |
| 13 | +will be integrated into this framework. Consequently, this task will remain active throughout |
| 14 | +the project, enabling continuous updates and refinements in response to the platform's evolving |
| 15 | +requirements. |

11 | | -********************************************* |
| 17 | +To ensure a structured development process, the module is, for time being, subdivided into |
| 18 | +three primary sub-sections: catalogue processing, statistical tools - plotting, and spatial |
| 19 | +distributions. |

16 | | -- **Fault information management**: |
17 | | - Import and modify fault segment data stored in GeoJSON format, including geometrical and attribute handling; |
18 | | - |
19 | | -- **Geometry validation**: |
20 | | - Check and validate the geometric consistency of fault segments to ensure accurate meshing and simulation; |
21 | | - |
22 | | -- **Triangular meshing**: |
23 | | - Generate triangular meshes based on the fault geometry, enabling detailed structural representation; |
24 | | - |
25 | | -- **STL file creation**: |
26 | | - Convert the meshed fault segments into STL (Stereolithography or Standard Triangle Language) file format, |
27 | | - suitable for 3D visualization and numerical simulations; |

33 | | -The post-simulation tool focuses on processing output results. |
34 | | -Its core functionalities include: |
35 | | - |
36 | | -- **Catalog processing**: |
37 | | - Load catalogue as a `.mat` file and save it as a `.csv` file; |
38 | | - |
39 | | -- **Statistical evaluation**: |
40 | | - Compute statistics for magnitude, rupture area, mean slip, and mean stress drop; |
41 | | - |
42 | | -- **3D spatial visualization**: |
43 | | - Visualize spatial distribution of events; |
44 | | - |
45 | | -- **Magnitude-frequency distribution (MFD)**: |
46 | | - Generate MFDs of the simulated earthquake catalogue; |
